How do you promote my practice? 

1.  We aggressive market the site online using a variety of techniques, including site optimization, blog ads, and other "back end" type of website promotion.  A lot of this part is invisible to you, but on our end it helps us evaluate where web traffic is coming from, and we adjust certain coding on the site to take advantage of that traffic.

2.  By article syndication.  This means we take any articles you've written (i.e. perhaps something for your clients like 5 Ways To Better Communication With Your Partner), and put it in an article syndication system.  The system offers your article to Website owners for free use on their sites.  The value of this is that your article (which contains a link to your page on GayFriendlyTherapists.com) gets fairly widespread distribution, thus getting your name out to a broad audience. 

All of our efforts have a single goal:  Drive more traffic to the GayFriendlyTherapists.com site, where potential clients can search for therapists using a variety of search criteria.  Our company is Therapist List and our directory is www.GayFriendlyTherapists.com

What do I do after paying? 

After you have paid for your Marketing Service please send me a photo (72 dpi for the web) of yourself either by email as an attachment or a hard copy by mail (I will return the photo).   Complete the for at Join Today  and email your information to Charlene Crilley charlenecrilley@sbcglobal.net.  Your information will be posted on GayFriendlyTheraists.com. 

When we advertise using printed material we will need your photo in 300 dpi. 

What kind of photo do you need? 

We need a 72 dpi photo to represent you on your web page and on a search result page. You can send a headshot, a full body shot, or a photo with children, etc.  The photo will depend on how you want to be represented. You can send your photo either by email as an attachment or a hard copy by mail (I will return the photo). 

How do I send an attachment? 

Open your email program and click New.  Click the paperclip icon.  This will take you to an Insert File box where you will see your folders that hold documents.  Find your photo on your computer and double click on the photo you want to attach.  Your photo will automatically be inserted in your email.   

What is dpi and how do I tell? 

Usually a photographer will take photos in high resolution (300 dots per inch).  Photos on the web are usually 72 dpi.  If you have a hard copy photo you can mail it to us and we can scan it and return it to you.  If you have photos on your computer you can put them in Photoshop, click image, click image size and it will tell you at the bottom the size of the dpi.  You can also right click a photo on your computer and click summary.  Near the top it will tell you the resolution or dpi.  You may find you already have a 300 dpi photo.  

How do I create my web pages?  

Go to Join Today, complete the form and email to charlenecrilley@sbcglobal.net.  Your web pages will be posted.

What is Article Syndication?

 

Article syndication is the process by which we take articles you've written for syndication, and offer your article to Website owners for free use on their sites.  The value of this is that your article (which contains a link to your page on GayFriendlyTherapists.com) gets distribution throughout the web, thus getting your name out to a broad audience.

 

How do I syndicate my articles?

 

Three things we need.   

  • your articles for syndication either as an email attachment or pasted into the body of your email
  • an e-mail giving me permission to syndicate articles you send. 
  • I need a 20-word sentence about yourself, which will be added to the end (About the Author Box) of each syndicated article with a link back to your web on GayFriendlyTherapist.com.

Watch your email for a notice that your article has been syndicated.  Note: The articles on your web pages are not automatically submitted for syndication.  We need specific permission to syndicate the articles you email to us.
